is there a current production 20 bit cd player ?

Tell 'ya what, Mr.T., one "thank you" to those who
have offered some suggestions in this thread and your other threads
would go a long way.

I did a five minute Google search for 20 bit CD players and found these.
I'm sure there are others. The Denon appears to be current. The
Meridian is available used. I don't know about the Yamaha.

Meridian 506.20
Denon DCM 380 Changer
Yamaha CDC-775 Changer

thank you tvad.

i just found another which i am going to investigate.

it is the granite audio 657 with tube output stage.

thanks again for not putting me in the troll club.

for thos who may be interested, my system consists of the following:

quad 63s, vtl deluxe 120 mono amps, a maple tree 66sn7 based preamp from Canada, an Audionote CD2 cd player.

my cable is a hodgepodge consisting of legenburg by capativa, dcca audio and sunny cable technology model 600 cable.

i am looking for a backup cd player to my audionote which a like, as it has age 5751 black plate.

yes i am a bit fussy, but i have a good idea of what i like.

again, thanks for not giving up on me and tell your budies to look at this post to see that i have a hopefully credible audio system.

oh yes, i forgot an important accessory, the EAT cool tube dampers for my 12 volt tubes. it's aluminum and looks like a heat sink and has teflon inserts. really works well. ican't remember the web site but if you do a google search, i think you can find it. iheard these tube dampers at the 2006 CES.

The Granite 657 might be just the ticket. Put in some Mullard E88CC tubes and you could be set.

It's not current production, but an excellent 20-bit player was the Denon DCD-1650AR, released in 2001, MSRP $1,800. I've owned two and still have one. While it's no longer my reference player, it's a very fine one, very well made, built like the proverbial battleship, weight 26 pounds 4 ounces! You can pick up a used one at a very reasonable price. (It does have 8X oversampling.)

NAD C-521BEE is 20-bit machine also.
